All of nature in its place.Right or left, it’s somewhat baffling to us why we don’t all
care that the bees are dying.Last
we knew, there was no questioning on any side that bees pollinate, and if they
don’t we have a major break in the food supply chain.Whenever you go to a nursery, take a look at what plants
have bees buzzing around them, and which don’t.If the bees are interested, in means the plant is most
likely not genetically modified, and will seed.Buy that plant, and take it home.We do.Not only
are our vegetables, fruit, berries and mushrooms organic and not genetically
modified, but we make every effort to ensure that any plant: from shade trees
to hostas, that we bring in are grown from seed.Our wildflowers are organic, and are fill dirt is
organic.You won’t find a piece of
treated lumber on our farm.We
brought in blue bird houses and owl houses last year, and morning and night are
now filled with song.This spring
bee hives are coming in.When we
reconstructed the pond, we added more boulders as a sunning deck for the
turtles, and the frogs all have many safe havens here.We don’t make any attempt to eliminate
moles, worms, voles, groundhogs, or squirrels.The rest of the food chain does its own role in this regard,
and everyone eats their share.We
ascribe to the age old farming wisdom of 1/3 to the animals, 1/3 to eat, and
1/3 as seed for next year.
